@seekesotsibteadmist asked: “All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life.” - arke
It was a lovely thought. A new life unburdened by everything that had come before. A weight lifted without the memory of ever having carried it. Arke had thought that the freedom from Tartarus would bring a new life, but everything new had been tainted by past mistakes. Unhealed scars. Knowing that past choices would follow her until no one was left to remember, even then, one would remain. Still, a smile curved her lips. "Did you find it? This new life? Freedom?" Perhaps she had not tried enough. Maybe there was another path the other one had found and was willing to share knowledge of.
